Research
continues to demonstrate that the care and guidance provided for
children during the first years of their lives plays a critical role.
Crucial brain development takes place in children from birth to age
three, and how parents and caregivers nurture this development can
greatly affects not only the child's fundamental emotional well-being,
but also cultivate personal, academic, and social skills required to
learn well in school, cope with everyday problems, and succeed later in
life.
Creating Caring Children: The First Three Years
was created to identify, address and meet children's developmental
needs in a conscious, caring way. Written by experts in early childhood
education, this book provides parents, professional caregivers, and
day-care administrators with appropriate, nurturing responses to a wide
variety of behavioral issues typical during these early years.
